[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7499066, member: 115909"]That must have made being a shopkeeper maddening. I like how the Roman's did it. 1 gold Aureus = 25 denarii 1 gold Quinareus = 12.5 denarii So then if something was priced at 100 denarii it could be paid with 4x Aureii or 100 Denarii or a mix.[/QUOTE]
